Yonny Enrique Chirinos Mejias (born December 26, 1993) is a Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Tampa Bay Rays and Atlanta Braves.

Career

Tampa Bay Rays

Minor leagues

Chirinos signed with the

40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[7]

Major leagues

On March 25, 2018, the Rays announced that Chirinos had made the

10-day disabled list on June 4 but was optioned to Triple-A Durham. On July 24, the Rays recalled Chirinos to start against the New York Yankees.[15][16] In his return, Chirinos pitched 62⁄3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits.[17] He won for the first time in his major league career on August 9.[18]
In 18 games, 7 starts, he finished 5–5 in 89+2⁄3 innings. The following season, Chirinos split time between the bullpen and the rotation, appearing in 26 games (18 starts). He finished with a 9–5 record in 133+1⁄3 innings.

On August 21, 2020, it was announced that Chirinos would require

Tommy John surgery for an elbow injury, ruling him out for the rest of the 2020 season and likely most of 2021.[19][20] On August 25, 2020, he underwent the procedure. On February 22, 2021, Chirinos was placed on the 60-day injured list as he continued to recover from the surgery.[21]

On March 22, 2022, Chirinos signed a $1.175 million contract with the Rays, avoiding salary arbitration.[22] Chirinos returned from Tommy John late in the season,[23][24] and logged two scoreless appearances for the Rays, striking out 6 in 7.0 innings pitched. Chirinos was optioned to the Triple-A Durham Bulls to begin the 2023 season.[25] In 15 appearances (4 starts) for Tampa Bay, he logged a 4–4 record and 4.02 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 62+2⁄3 innings pitched. On July 17, 2023, Chirinos was designated for assignment by the Rays.[26]

Atlanta Braves

On July 23, 2023, Chirinos was claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves.[27][28] He made his Braves debut five days later, pitching 3+2⁄3 innings in a no-decision.[29] Chirinos struggled to a 9.27 ERA across 5 starts for the Braves before he was placed on the injured list with right elbow inflammation on August 21.[30] He was transferred to the 60–day injured list on September 5, ending his season.[31] He was designated for assignment by the Braves on November 14, following the waiver claim of Penn Murfee.[32] He was non-tendered and became a free agent on November 17.

Miami Marlins

On February 13, 2024, Chirinos agreed to a minor league deal with the Miami Marlins.[33] In 12 starts for the Triple–A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, he compiled a 6–4 record and 3.00 ERA with 47 strikeouts across 66 innings pitched. On June 19, the Marlins selected Chirinos' contract, adding him to their active roster.[34]
